12th Annual Turkey Trot

Time to work off that gravy from last night — or make room in your belly for tonight’s turkey feast — either way, a 10 km run will do you good! The 12th Annual Turkey Trot will be taking place Thanksgiving Monday, starting on Granville Island, winding its way around False Creek, and ending at the same spot. Even if you don’t feel like running, stop by to watch the fun, and bring a donation for the Vancouver Food Bank. For more information, visit www.turkeytrot.ca or call (604)–816–1730.
